I just dropped DS off at daycare. He got so upset when I tried to set him down to leave. I finally got him to go down and play with a toy garbage truck (his favorite) and I snuck out. I could hear him screaming when he realized I was gone. Now I feel awful for tricking him.
Ugh. I hate the crying daycare separation too heybulldog56. When DD moved up a room she cried at drop off for a week and a half straight. It's gut wrenching.
I got my NT scan bumped up to the 14th! Hooray! Knocked 4 days off my wait time.
Working from home today and tomorrow. Thank god for work flexibility.

I am also working from home! It's glorious! I wish I had this option during the school year. It's so great that you have that flexibility and that your NT scan will be sooner, ellabee! And as for daycare... DS NEVER cried at drop off until recently. It makes me nervous for what's going to happen at the end of the summer when I go back to work and he goes back to DC. Tomorrow is his last day for the summer and then he's home with me for a month and a half.
DS slept in till 6:30 again! It's been glorious and much appreciated after a couple of weeks of 5/5:30 wake ups. Trying to get the house in order before the long weekend. I'm hoping to have everything packed today instead of tomorrow. We will see how that goes.
All the BBQ was a hit! I invited our friends over so there's not a lot of leftovers. One was the friend I had the bridal shower for last weekend. She did say I had the best gift presentation so there's that.
I had the craziest night, so I'm tired! I've been up since 4. I was sick to my stomach for a good chunk of the night, and OMG the dreams. I had 2 separate dreams that I miscarried. Then I dreamt I was in a parking garage in Boston. I watched while a small plane landed and shot some kind of nuclear device into a building, and then it detonated. Then I died, but I was just in a small, monochrome room with no doors or windows waiting for either something to happen or for my consciousness to end. But I was just waiting and waiting and waiting until I woke up. And then I dreamed I was taken by some group of people and forced to wear a plain white t with overalls for the rest of my life. And I was pregnant again but afraid to tell anyone because I thought I'd be punished.

lakegirl, hooray for superior gift giving! I am so glad she enjoyed your creativity! Also, jealous of the BBQ. I am glad your DS slept in again! Mine has been making it to 6/6:30 as well and it's glorious. So sad that I consider that sleeping in now.
My toddler was toddlering so hard last night that I straight up screamed at her, plopped her in her crib, stomped down the steps, laid on the floor and told my H that I was done parenting for the day. It was bed time anyway, thankfully, but my heart was racing so much because I was so irritated. With a <2 year old. I need to check my temper.

judyblume14, I feel you. I am a super patient person but toddlerhood is really breaking me down. This phase can be so fun/precious one minute and then frustrating/ infuriating the next. I didn't realize how much my nightly glass of wine was helping me survive until now that I can't drink.

Now that my superior gift giving has been acknowledged, my life is 100% complete.
I totally hear you judyblume14, and heybulldog56. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones, but some nights I just know I have a shorter fuse and have to ask H to deal with DD.

rinny, omg what crazy dreams! I also now want a pop tart.
I had some work to finish up this morning but I'm working from home today. I love Thursdays. I am non stop hungry, it's pretty crazy. I am so exhausted, despite sleeping over 8 hours, maybe I just need more sleep. I am non stop hungry, it's annoying. Either my maternity t shirt shrunk or my bump grew. Either way kind of crazy. We really need HDBD next week.

Finished up with work. I am off to Old Navy to take advantage of their sale. Hopefully I cant find some comfy elastic wasitband shorts and over-sized t-shirts.

Yay Thusday! Almsost Friday! Another sucky day at work here, meetings started at 8am and I am mentally done.
Ya'lls stories about toddlers are not reassuring. Although I'm still hoping to convince DH to go for a second, and be in your shoes in the future.
I'm looking forward to after work, I have my first piano lesson scheduled. Everyone has been teasing me, but I'm super excited. We'll see if reading music makes more sense than it did at age 12.
Yay my extra pairs of maternity underwear arrived, that is the highlight of my day! Sadly. I really want some popcorn but I need to eat lunch soon.
Stupid question, but how is maternity underwear different than regular? I never bought any last time, but I'm curious.
They give me more room and are stretchier than the thongs/strings I currently wear. They cut under my stomach too. The material is super soft. I bought these from amazon.

LovesMeSomeCake, there is a link & response in the post when I replied to the same question. I hope you saw it. So jealous of your piano lessons. I've studied a few different musical instruments and can sing but I've always wanted to learn to play the piano. Have fun!
Hello! Sorry I've been MIA, we were on vacation for the past five days visiting family. It was great fun and DD (2) loved hanging out with her five year old cousin. She was running around, following her constantly having a great time. It was super adorable. She doesn't have any cousins nearby, so it was super cute to watch her.
I am on summer break and it is so far glorious. We left the day after school got out and just got back last night, so SAHing with DD has just started. I had my first midwife appointment today, which she came with me to because DH had a meeting, then we went to brunch.
The appointment went great and I'm looking forward to seeing midwives this time instead of an OB. Have a great day!
Also, I took a nap almost everyday on vacation and I think this might be something that has to continue for the rest of the first trimester. I am constantly exhausted and the naps are glorious!
